Unable to use SongSelect 3.0 database songs after March 2011 Update

Symptom:After an update to the March 2011 Edition of SongShow Plus the songs from the SongSelect 3.0 database do appear in the songs database panel but will not project or add to a program properly. Searching also appears to be affected. When added to a program a red "X" is next to the title and when projected an alert occurs indicating the song is missing or unusable.
